Isingeniso Ekuzalweni KwezChinchilla
Ukuzala amachinchilla kungaba yinto ejabulisayo kubanikazi bezilwane zasekhaya abanikezele ngokuphelele, kodwa kudinga ukuhlelela ngokucophelela, ulwazi, nokuzinikelela. Amachinchilla ayizinkunzi ezincane, ezibuthakathaka ezivela ezintabeni zaseAndes, futhi inqubo yokuzala kwazo iza nezinselelo ezingafani. Ngokungafani nezilwane zasekhaya ezivamile, amachinchilla anezidingo ezikhethekile mayelana nokudla, indawo yokuhlala, nokunakekela impilo ngesikhathi sokuzala. Lesi sihloko sinikeza isifinyezo sezinto eziyisisekelo ukukusiza ukunquma ukuthi ukuzala kufanele kuwe nawo amachinchilla akho, kanye namacebiso asebenzayo ukuze uqinisekise impilo kanye nokuphepha kwabazali nabazingane (amachinchilla amancane).
Ngaphambi kokungena ngokujulile, kubalulekile ukuba uqonde ukuthi ukuzala akumele ngaso esinye isikhathi kuthathwe ngokungacabangi. Amachinchilla inesikhathi eside sokukhulelwa uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izilwane ezincane, futhi izinkinga zingavela. Hlala udumela udokotela wezilwane onezinwele eziningi zezilwane ezingavamile ngaphambi kokuba uqale, futhi cabanga ukuthi unaso isikhathi, izinsiza, kanye nendawo yokunakekela inzala engase ivele.
Ukuqonda Ukuzala KwezChinchilla
Amachinchilla afika ekuvundeni kwezocansi phakathi kwezinyanga eziyi-8 kanye ne-12, nakuba kunconyelwe ukulinda aze abe neminyaka engu-12 okungenani ngaphambi kokuzala ukuze aqinisekise ukuthi akhule ngokuphelele. Izinsikazi zinesikhathi sokukhulelwa cishe izinsuku eziyi-111—eside kakhulu kuneninye inhlabathi yezinkunzi—okusho ukuthi ukukhulelwa kungaba nzima ngokomzimba. Izibongo ezivamile ziqukethe amakiti angu-1 kuya kwangu-3, nakuba izibongo ezinkulu kufikile kwangu-6 zingenzeka kodwa azivamile. Amakiti azalwa egcwele uboya, namehlo avulelekile, futhi azimele kancane ezinsukwini ezimbalwa, kodwa asadinga ukunakekelwa ngomama cishe amasonto angu-6 kuya kwangu-8.
Izinsikazi zamachinchilla azinayo umjikelezo wokushisa ocacile njengezilwane ezithile; esikhundleni salokho, zingazala unyaka wonke. Nokho, zivame ukubonisa i-postpartum estrus, okusho ukuthi zingakhulelwa futhi ngokushesha ngemuva kokubeletha. Ukuvimbela ubungozi empilweni bokukhulelwa okulandelanayo, kubalulekile ukuhlanganisa inkunzi nesifazi ngemuva kokubeletha noma kusebenzise ezinye izindlela zokulawula ukuzala (njengokunciphisa inkunzi, uma kufanele).
Ukulungiselela Ukuzala
Ukuzilungiselela kungukhiye wokuzala amachinchilla ngempumelelo nangokufanele. Okokuqala, qinisekisa ukuthi bobabili inkunzi nesifazi banempilo ngokuhlela ukuhlolwa kodokotela wezilwane ukuze kuchithwe izinto zofuzo noma zezempilo. Zala kuphela amachinchilla anezinhlamvu ezinhle futhi engenalo umlando wezimo ezizodwa njenge-malocclusion (amazinyo angaguquguquki), okuvame kulo nyaka.
Dala indawo ephephile, ebanzi yombhangqwana. I-breeding cage kufanele ibe ububanzi obungaphezulu kuka-3 feet, ubujajuqu obungaphezulu kuka-2 feet, futhi ubude obungaphezulu kuka-2 feet ukuze kunikezwe indawo eyanele yokunyakaza. Faka izindawo zokucashiza ezahlukene futhi uqinisekise ukuthi i-cage ayinayo izingozi njengoncwe ezibukhali noma izikhala ezincane lapho amakiti angaba nezinselelo. Gcina izinga lokushisa eliqondile le-60-70°F (15-21°C) lomswakama ophansi, njengoba amachinchilla ayingozi ngokushisa.
Ukudla nakho kubalulekile. Hlinzeka i-pellet yase-chinchilla yekhwalithi ephezulu, i-Timothy hay engenalana, kanye namanzi ahlanzekile. Ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, ongeza ukudla kwesifazi ngamanani amancane e-alfalfa hay yokwengeza i-calcium kanye ne-protein, kodwa gcwala ukudlisela ngokweqile ukuvimbela i-obesity.
Amacebiso Okuphumelela Kokuzala
- Yethula Umbhangqwana Kancane Kancane: Amachinchilla angaba nesifunda. Beka amakeji abo eduze kancane izinsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokubanyenyeza endaweni engathathi hlangothi ukuze kuncishiswe ubudlovu. Buka izimpawu zokuhlangana, njengokuhlanza noma ukugcina, futhi bawahlukanise uma kulwa.
- Lawula Ukukhulelwa: Isicompamela sesifazi viki ne-viki ukulandela ukukhula kwesisindo (uphawu lokukhulelwa). Gcwala ukulibazula ngokweqile ezigabeni zokugcina ukuze kuncishiswe ingcindezi.
- Lungiselela Amakiti: Misela i-nesting box enobudidi obuthambile, obuphephile njenge-aspen shavings ukuze isifazi sabeletha. Bebe no-makeji ehlukene elungile uma udinga ukuhlukanisa inkunzi noma amakiti ngemuva kokubeletha.
- Wazi Nini Ukufuna Usizo: Uma isifazi sikhombisa izimpawu zokudinwa ngesikhathi sokubeletha (kudlule amahora angu-2 ngaphandle kokuzalwa kwamakiti), xhumana nodokotela wezilwane ngokushesha. I-dystocia (ukubeletha okunzima) ingaba yingozi empilweni.
Ukucatshangelwa Ngokufanele
Ukuzala amachinchilla kufanele kuhlale kubeka phambili inkomba yezilwane ngaphezulu kwenzuzo noma ubulula. Cabanga ukuthi kukhona yini isidingo samakiti endaweni yakho nokuthi ungawathola yini amakhaya abanakekeli. Gcwala ukuzala ngokweqile, njengoba kungaba nzima empilweni yesifazi—limaza izibongo ezingaphezulu kwangu-2 ngonyaka. Ukwengeza, cwaninga imithetho yasendaweni, njengoba ezinye izindawo zinemikhawulo yokuzala izilwane ezingavamile.
Ngokusingatha ukuzala ngokunakekela kanye nokuzibophezela, ungusiza ukuqinisekisa impilo yamachinchilla akho futhi ube negalelo elihle emphakathini we-chinchilla. Hlala ulwazi futhi uxhumane nabanye abanikazi noma abazali ukuze uthole ukwesekwa namacebiso.
